Well, you have finally bit the bullet and decided that you simply must have a plasma TV. How much will you spend, and what can you expect for your money?
Prices have dropped significantly over recent years but it is still a case of you get what you pay for’.
For about $1,300 you can expect to get a fifty inch, average quality set. It doesn’t have the performance level of the better known brands (or the price tag!) but could perform adequately in a family situation.
$2,600 will buy you a well known brand (50 inch) replete with better picture quality and sharper images. Brighter colors balance the better black’ that everyone raves about and is more suited to movies than the previous set-up.
$3,500 will get you a cinema quality picture (50 inch) which is what most people want. The color saturation is superb with excellent black levels. An anti-glare feature means that this TV is able to be watched even under bright lights.
Care should be taken when deciding on what size screen to purchase. It is no good having one wall of your home covered by TV when you have to sit at the far end of the room to watch it...
